Childish Deano: A six episode animated comedy about a rambunctious 8-year-old boy with a grown man's voice and a heart of gold. Deano lives for mischief but he is so charming and full of life that people can't help falling in love with him. Inspired by writer/director/producer Dean Thomas' own childhood, the series will explore issues including racism, socioeconomic prejudice, Aboriginality and bullying. Dean Thomas, who is best known as a presenter on the Chrissie, Sam and Browny breakfast show on Nova, has teamed up with writer/director/producer David Ferrier, producer Amanda Reedy (Superwog) and executive producer Adele Thomas. This project will release on Facebook and IGTV.
Black AS Rebooted: Picking up from the popular TV series Black AS, this eight-part series will follow the Black AS boys on their ride into the heart of Arnhem Land, as they traverse their ancestral lands on the hunt for adventure and a good feed. Each episode delivers insights into their bush knowledge, innovative car fixes, survival skills and a healthy respect for their ancient ways, celebrating what it is to be a young fella in the bush today. Behind the wheel are the creators and writers David Batty (Black AS Season 1, Season 2) and the Black AS boys; Dino Wanyabarrnga, Chicko Wanyabarrnga, Jerome Lilypiyana and Joseph Smith. They are joined by producer Steve Crombie and David Batty will direct. This project will release on TikTok and YouTube through Totem Network.

Writer/director JJ Winlove (June Again) will team up with producer Emily Bull (Rocky & Me) in this romantic comedy. The project will be released on a bespoke website and also available on Smartphone.
